   Still such a great series.   One question on the Z episode.  Did Shadows pr=

     Anna was never written as a telepath but she was written to have been hoo=

   Just two more points to add that sprung to mind (just catching up on missed=   
    threads).   
      
   The Shadows wiped out those with Narns the telepath gene a thousand years b=   
   efore. So they weren't using them at that point. If they used telepaths in =   
   their ships then that would be a massive waste of 'components'. I vaguely r=
